In February 2022, several law enforcement agencies participated in an online sting targeting child predators in Colquitt County called “Operation Heartbreak,” which resulted in a dozen arrests over three days. The effort was coordinated by the Georgia Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit (CEACC), Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office, and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Georgia. The suspects arrested thought they were meeting a child they had enticed for sexual acts, including those willing to purchase sex with a minor. Instead, they were met by law enforcement and taken into custody. Each person arrested was charged under the Computer or Electronic Pornography and Child Exploitation Prevention Act of 2007. Investigators had more than 69 exchanges with people on social media and other internet platforms who thought they were talking to minors. Many of these exchanges involved adults sending obscene or lewd content to the supposed minors or asking the child to produce and send sexually explicit images of themselves. The twelve men arrested had their names, ages, arrest photos, and occupations released to the press.
